Gemma Drawstring Accent Rib One-Piece Swimsuit

I’ve had my eye on this swimsuit for months! I love the emerald green color and the style, but hesitated because the video and a review mentioned a built-in shelf bra, which can be tricky for larger breasts. I’m 5’5”, 130 lbs, 36DD, and ordered a medium. Surprisingly, mine has no shelf bra at all! I wish the torso were slightly longer, but sizing up might make the top slip since there’s very little back support. The bust looks a bit compressed from the side, and the back coverage is minimal. That said, I absolutely love how it looks and feel great wearing it! So glad I took a chance.

I really wanted to love this suit, I bought the black ribbed and was looking for something basic yet cute to wear around family, etc. As a 36DD curvy girl it’s sometimes hard to find a suit that fits well top and bottom, but I decided to give this one a go. Unfortunately, the description of this suit is missing a key detail- which is that there’s a shelf bra inside. Any one who is also large chested can understand the pain of these because they never fit and this lined shelf bra just barely covered my nipples, making this awkward. Back it goes :( I would not have ordered this if the shelf bra detail had been in the description.
